? about free dining

[goofiecrazy]

We wont be going back till the summer of 08 and are hoping they still offer the free dinning the time we are there but we will be renting a house with extended family. I think I know the answer but do u have to be staying on site to get it or can we get even if we are renting a house? I was thinking it really would help out us out and we could try different places as well.

yes, you have to stay onsite and purchase tickets in order to make a "package" which is the only way to obtain the Free Dining program if it is offered...

something to consider... there are some posters here in situations such as yours and felt that it was worth booking a package for a value resort room at approximately $80/night and listing four people (mom, dad, 2 teens) to get the free dining plan for four adults (retail value approx $160/day) and either purchasing their entire ticket or a single day base ticket as part of the package... all while staying offsite/not using the room or using it for naps and dips in the pool...

Please don't advocate lying to Disney about the ages of the guests to be registered to a room on public board.

If you're four adults, then register as four adults. The surcharge is not excessive.

Who said anything about lying about ages

We all know that Disney is requesting to see the residents of a room in order to get free dining so there is no "lying" possible.

This thread is closed as the OP has gotten their answer...yes you must stay on site and purchase a package in order to get free dining.
